What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Nocturia is currently defined by the International Continence Society (ICS) as the complaint that an individual has to wake at night one or more times to void. It is, however, an underreported, understudied, and infrequently recognized problem in adults. Many factors may contribute to nocturia which are treatable, yet patients do not seek care or the condition may not be identified by providers. This paper aims to help healthcare providers better serve patients who are experiencing nocturia by summarizing current research, clinical approaches, and treatment options. The results of the conference provide a balanced evaluation of the full treatment armamentarium capable of meeting the needs of patients with the manifold causes of nocturia such as nocturnal polyuria, overactive bladder, or benign prostatic hyperplasia.
已知的研究领域是什么？这项研究有何新发现？目前，国际尿控协会（ICS）将夜尿症定义为个体抱怨夜间必须醒来排尿一次或多次的症状。然而，它是成年人中一个报道不足、研究不足且经常未被认识到的问题。许多因素可能导致夜尿症，这些因素是可以治疗的，但患者并未寻求治疗，或者提供者可能未识别出这种情况。本文旨在通过总结当前的研究、临床方法和治疗选择，帮助医疗保健提供者更好地为经历夜尿症的患者提供服务。会议的结果对完整的治疗方案进行了平衡评估，这些方案能够满足因多种原因导致夜尿症的患者的需求，如夜间多尿、膀胱过度活动症或良性前列腺增生。
